Senior Cook
With J and K here, one of the first things they noticed was that I have plenty of dishes and flatware but nothing really matches. I have bits and pieces of sets of dishes and flatware but I don't even have enough matching for a service for four.
I'm getting a little money back on taxes and I was wondering if you folks have any suggestions on what is fairly durable maybe with some bold colors. I don't want anything modern-looking because I like antique-looking things.
For flatware I know of Oneida and I think I found a pretty pattern called "True Rose" at Wal-Mart but other ideas on what would fit in with the old-timey look of my kitchen would be great. I won't have a gob of money to spend probably about $100 - $150 on dishes, $100 or so on flatware. I'm good on glasses because my parents gave me a huge set 2 Christmases ago and I haven't managed to break any of those yet.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks!
